Vivaldi: Concerto for two violins in G minor (RV 578)

Stereo: br.youtube.com Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741). L'estro Armonico, Op.3, Concerto No. 2 in G minor for two violins, cello and strings, RV 578: 1st mov: Adagio e spicatto. 2nd mov: Allegro. 3rd mov: Larghetto. 4st mov: Allegro. Europa Galante. Dir: Fabio Biondi. L'estro Armonico op. 3 ("Harmonic Inspiration" in Italian) is a collection of twelve concertos for 1, 2 and 4 violins written by Antonio Vivaldi in 1711. It largely augmented the reputation of Vivaldi as Il Prete Rosso; (The Red Priest). The collections were mostly put together in a chronological order. These concerti are often called concerti grossi due to their use of a concertino-style ensemble (solo cello is often used). JS Bach later transcribed concertos from this work for harpsichord solo (no.9, no.12), for organ solo (no.8, no.11) and for four harpsichords and strings (no.10).
